It's gas fumes that are explosive.
That’s why it’s very hard to get an explosive fuel-air mixture in a car. However, a rupturing NG cylinder instantly produces a very explosive atmosphere.
Dang! I guess I’ve lived all these years without ever knowing how a carburetor works!
As in a catastrophic rupture of the fuel container rarely results in any kind of explosion. Quite easy to do with NG though.
